Magic Industry Empire - 1065. Chapter 1065

The public recruitment of the guards of the Xinfei Chamber of Commerce has been held for the third time in just three months since it entered the mainland calendar in 3802.

In the first two open recruitments, the guards of the New Flying Chamber of Commerce recruited a total of 2,739, which is a powerful supplement.

However, after the third recruitment was over, only 398 were recruited.

Compared with the previous two recruitments, the number of recruits for the third time has undoubtedly dropped significantly.

There are many reasons for this result, but in the eyes of many people, one of the most important reasons is that in the third recruitment, there is an extra test than the previous two, and that is the intelligence test.

Just this intelligence test has eliminated nearly half of the applicants, resulting in a sharp drop in the number of security guard candidates who are ultimately successful.

Countless people are very puzzled by this test, and also puzzled by the results of this test.

The intelligence test is indeed a very strange thing, but it is just a simple intelligence test, but it makes the selection of guards passed down to such an exaggerated level, it is a bit unreasonable.

“In fact, the reason is very simple. The reason why only so few people are recruited is because the vast majority of qualified candidates have already been recruited in the first two recruitments.”

Xu Yi shook the progress report on the recruitment of the guards of the New Flying Chamber of Commerce. The expression on his face was far less solemn than the guard captain Hart on the opposite side.

“But the president, these few recruitments, the number of people who came to apply for the job was very small. The total number of people who came to apply for the third time was less than 5,000 people. The attraction of our new flying chamber of commerce guards is not so low. Right?” Hart was puzzled. “But among the people who came to apply for the job, humans accounted for only a very small portion, and they added up to less than a thousand, which is too strange.”

“You have to figure out one thing, it’s not that our chamber of commerce guards are not attractive enough, but that our requirements are high.” Xu Yi shook his head. “To be honest, how much do you think can meet the requirements?”

“Well…it’s really not much.” Hart gave a wry smile and glanced at Xu Yi with a weird expression. “But the president, this is all because your requirements are too high, otherwise I think that with the conditions we set out, it will be no problem to recruit ten times more people.”

“What then? What’s the use of recruiting a group of guys who can’t do anything to come in?” Xu Yi asked back. “To tell you the truth, I am also very dissatisfied with the guards you have recruited now. If it weren’t for the rush to hire people, I would like to weed out these guys again.”

The wry smile on Hart’s face deepened.

“President, don’t talk about you, even if I can’t wait to throw a lot of the guys out. At first I didn’t understand why you had to add an intelligence test item, but now I fully understand it. These days we It’s exhausting to train these guys who are new to the guards so that they can learn to master the operation of military magic machinery.”

“Ha, now you understand why I keep asking you to spend more time in the guards for training, right? Tell you that in the future, there will be more and more types of military magic machinery developed by the Chamber of Commerce, and the operation will become more and more cumbersome. If you don’t hurry up Time to study, maybe you will not use good things for you in the future.” Although Xu Yi has a smile on his face, his tone is very serious.

Hart nodded slowly and gave a hmm.

“I understand. President, I actually feel that I can’t keep up more and more recently. So… I want to make a request to you…”

“What? You want me to throw a few researchers to the guards?” Xu Yi asked with slanted eyes.

Hart was suddenly stunned: “Guild, how do you know? Has anyone mentioned it to you?”

“No. Just based on my inference, you should also need to make this request. Okay, you don’t need to say this, I have this idea for a long time. Taking advantage of this expansion of the Chamber of Commerce guards, I will additionally take advantage of the researcher Mobilize several researchers who are interested in and research on the practical application of military magic machinery to your guard team to help you better understand and operate various military magic machinery.” Xu Yi waved his hand.

“Great!” Hart was immediately overjoyed. “Sir President, I didn’t expect you to attach so much importance to our guards. This is really…”

Xu Yi couldn’t bear to snorted.

“What you said, why don’t I pay attention to the escort? To tell you the truth, the escort will be the most important department of our chamber of commerce for a long time to come. You are the person in charge of the escort. Prepare.”

Hart got up abruptly and saluted with a snap.

“President, please rest assured that all the guards are fully prepared and willing to dedicate everything to the Chamber of Commerce at any time!”

Xu Yi looked at Hart amusedly.

“Hey, Hart, when did you learn this set?”

Hart chuckled: “I saw it in “Legend of Sunset Empire” and thought it was pretty good, so I used it.”

Xu Yi laughed dumbfounded, thinking that he and Hart have been working together for so many years, and today I know that this guy also has this humorous side.

The so-called “Legend of the Sunset Empire” is the latest phantom film released by the Crescent Chamber of Commerce. It tells the story of a fictional sunset empire from its inception to glory, and its final decline. Because of the grand scene and the magnificent story, it has twists and turns. Popular.

Unexpectedly, Hart also watched this, and even learned this POSE from it, which is really surprising.

But if Hart knew that the POSE he learned and the sentence he said was written by Xu Yi himself, what would he feel?

Hart and Xu Yi discussed for a while about the Chamber of Commerce guards, then left.

Xu Yi picked up the recruitment progress report he had left, with a trace of hesitation in his eyes.

Although the open recruitment of the guards of the New Flying Chamber of Commerce eventually recruited too few people, the main reason was that the standards set by the guards of the New Flying Chamber of Commerce were too high, but there is another reason that cannot be ignored, and it is the problem of the source of troops.

After all, Xinfei Chamber of Commerce is only a chamber of commerce, and the so-called chamber of commerce guards are just an ordinary chamber of commerce staff in everyone’s eyes.

Although Xu Yi has been working hard to cultivate the sense of identity and belonging of those guards in the Chamber of Commerce guards through Hart and others, and has achieved great results, the Chamber of Commerce is after all a Chamber of Commerce, not a country after all.

If a country wants to recruit for military recruitment, it can even take coercive measures to force all those who meet the conditions in the country to join the army.

But a chamber of commerce can only use its own conditions to attract others to join.

Although the conditions set by the New Flying Merchants Association are enough to make everyone and all races feel excited, the fact that the New Flying Merchants Association is limited to the fact that it has a very limited source of troops.

If it is not for the good relationship between the New Flying Merchants Association and the different races on the mainland, and it can get a lot of supplements from the different races, then the New Flying Merchants Association guards might only be recruited from the stragglers inside the Duchy of Stantin and some other countries. .

The quality of the troops recruited in this way can naturally be imagined.

However, the requirements of the New Flying Chamber of Commerce are high, and the final pass rate is of course extremely low.

This in turn will make the requirement of the guards of the New Flying Chamber of Commerce to be particularly high, which will become higher and higher, further restricting the source of troops.

So in fact, regardless of the reputation of the New Flying Chamber of Commerce, and the salary offered by the guards of the New Flying Chamber of Commerce is also good enough, in fact, the number of people who really come to apply for the guards of the New Flying Chamber of Commerce is not as many as imagined.

For example, in the third open recruitment, among the less than 5,000 applicants who came to apply for the job, humans actually did not even reach 1,000, and the rest were all different races.

One is that most human beings are unwilling to leave their homes and go to the Principality of Stantin to join the New Flying Chamber of Commerce. It was far from reaching Xu Yi’s requirements, so he was always eliminated, and naturally not many people were willing to come.

Of course, the source of troops is not insoluble.

For example, the Xinfei Chamber of Commerce now has branches and established many factory bases in most countries on the Sainz continent, and has also established strategic partnerships with many countries.

If Xu Yi is willing, it is entirely possible to directly set up military bases in these countries and recruit escorts locally to expand the size and radiation range of the new flying chamber of commerce escorts.

But in this way, it is bound to change the nature of the New Flying Chamber of Commerce in the eyes of other countries in an instant.

If the New Flying Chamber of Commerce can be regarded as an ordinary chamber of commerce, and most countries can cooperate with it normally, then once the New Flying Chamber of Commerce really starts to establish military bases in various places, it will actually pose a threat to other countries on the ground.

Compared with before, this is completely different.

Here is where Xu Yi hesitated.

The development of the New Flying Chamber of Commerce on the Sainz Continent has fallen into a bottleneck. If it wants to break through, it needs strong military support, so that it can continue to gain development space in the hands of other countries.

And if the force is expanded, it means that relations with other countries become tense, which in a certain sense limits their own development space.

And the investment required to expand the force can almost be regarded as a bottomless pit.

The Xinfei Chamber of Commerce is still in a critical period of development. There are too many places to spend money. It is not impossible to increase the investment in the guards, but too much investment will cause too much pressure, which is not desirable.

In terms of how to allocate this ratio and how to implement it, it can only be decided by Chairman Xu Yi, but no one else can share his worries for him.

That’s why Xu Yi hesitated rarely.

Because he knows very well that his decision will not only affect the fate of nearly 300,000 people up and down the New Flying Merchant Association, but may even affect the fate of the entire Sainz Continent.
